乔治亚州一些 25 美分硬币因铸造缺陷而价值 10,000 美元

缺陷有时会增加硬币的价值，一些旨在代表佐治亚州及其标志性桃子的硬币就是这种情况。

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — Coin defects can sometimes increase their value and such is the case with some quarters intended to represent the state of Georgia and its iconic peach.

纽约州史泰登岛——硬币缺陷有时会增加其价值，一些旨在代表佐治亚州及其标志性桃子的硬币就是这种情况。

Starting in 1999, the U.S. Mint began issuing coins for each of the 50 states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. Territories. Quarters were released for Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Georgia and Connecticut in the inaugural year.

从 1999 年开始，美国造币厂开始为 50 个州、哥伦比亚特区和美国领土发行硬币。特拉华州、宾夕法尼亚州、新泽西州、佐治亚州和康涅狄格州在第一年就发放了宿舍。

At least five types of errors in colors, markings and metal content have been found in Georgia quarters, according to the U.S. Coins Guide.

据《美国硬币指南》称，乔治亚州的硬币在颜色、标记和金属含量方面至少发现了五种错误。

Collectors often pay top dollar, around $10,000, for Georgia quarters that were molded from an experimental mix of metals with a gold or green hue. The coin disks, known as planchets, were cast from a test alloy for the Sacagawea dollar.

收藏家经常花高价（约 10,000 美元）购买佐治亚州 25 美分硬币，这些硬币是由具有金色或绿色色调的实验性金属混合物制成的。这些硬币盘被称为“钱币坯”，由萨卡加维亚一美元的测试合金铸造而成。

In addition to the golden glow, here are some clues that a Georgia quarter might be exceptionally valuable as compared to a regular quarter:

除了金色的光芒之外，以下一些线索表明，与普通的 25 美分硬币相比，佐治亚州 25 美分硬币可能具有非凡的价值：

The gold-tone Sacagawea dollar, with a copper core encased in manganese brass, was introduced with great fanfare in 2000, but never widely circulated. The coin honors a Native American woman who guided explorers Meriwether Lewis and William Clark on their journey through the United States.

金色萨卡加维亚一元硬币的铜芯包裹在锰黄铜中，于 2000 年大张旗鼓地推出，但从未广泛流通。这枚硬币旨在纪念一位指导探险家梅里韦瑟·刘易斯和威廉·克拉克穿越美国的美洲原住民妇女。

“The U.S. Mint issued five new quarters each year in the order that the states ratified the Constitution or were admitted into the Union,” according to the U.S. Mint website.

据美国造币厂网站称，“美国造币厂每年根据各州批准宪法或加入联邦的顺序发行五枚新的25美分硬币”。

The reverse side of each quarter features a design reflective of its respective state. The head depicts the portrait of the first president, George Washington, who has graced the quarter since 1932. Inscriptions used on the tail were switched to the head to make room for state designs, according to the U.S. Mint.

每个四分之一的背面都有反映其各自状态的设计。头像描绘的是美国第一任总统乔治·华盛顿 (George Washington) 的肖像，自 1932 年以来，他一直为这枚 25 美分硬币增光添彩。据美国造币厂称，尾部的铭文被换到了头像上，以便为国家设计腾出空间。
